Higher Education in the Next Decade
Author: Heather Eggins
Publisher: Global Perspectives on Higher
ISBN: 9789004462694
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
"This volume is already the 50th in the book series Global Perspectives on Higher Education ! In this book, the editors and authors paid special attention to this important anniversary. The 50th volume in the book series 'Global Perspectives on Higher Education' offers a stimulating and thoughtful assessment of higher education from a global perspective which addresses the challenges and prospects for the next decade. The challenges now faced by higher education and its likely future prospects and patterns are examined in terms of policy papers and case studies. Five broad topics are considered: the situation of academic faculty, the demand for access, the role of the university in society and its governance, funding trends, and higher education's international dimensions. The volume brings together as authors fourteen of the thirty participants of the Fulbright New Century Scholars 2005/2006 program, whose research addressed the topic of Higher Education in the 21st Century: Global Challenge and National Response and was published in a volume edited by the program leaders, Philip G. Altbach and Patti McGill Peterson, Higher Education in the New Century: Global Challenges and Innovative Ideas (2007). The present book not only continues the examination and assessment of current global trends in higher education, but also bears witness to the enduring power of Senator Fulbright's vision of furthering mutual international understanding and offering collaborative study opportunities which extend the frontiers of knowledge"--

Methods in Soil Biology
Author: Franz Schinner
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364260966X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
In terrestrial ecosystems, soil microorganisms and soil animals are essential for litter degradation, soil formation and the availability of nutrients and trace elements. The measurement of biological soil parameters allows a rapid evaluation of the effects of chemical and physical influences due to pollutants or soil management. This book introduces a number of well proved methods for the analysis of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur cycles. It focuses further on the determination of the number and biomass of microorganisms, algae and animals in the soil. Particular emphasis is placed on the comprehensible and complete description of the experimental procedures.
